Vehicle Description
-Midnight Blue with Red interior and Red carpeting, Fully Restored,
Automatic transmission, Factory air conditioning, Factory hard
top.
The Mercedes W113 type, nick-named "Pagoda" due to a distinctive
and patented concave hardtop roofline. Many see as one of the most
beautiful cars ever built.
All 280 SL models were equipped with an inline 6-cylinder engine
with mechanical fuel injection. The comparatively short and wide
chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful brakes and
radial tires gave the 280 SL superb handling for its time.
Restored by European Collectibles, Costa Mesa in 2016, this
Mercedes was completely disassembled so that every aspect could be
properly addressed. Everything has been rebuilt.
Purchased shortly after its restoration by Autosport Designs, this
280 SL was subsequently sold to a long time friend and client of
ours. Used extremely infrequently, it has been serviced yearly to
keep in its exceptional restored condition. The restoration has
stood the test of time and looks as fresh today as the day it was
completed.
Finished in a beautiful period correct color combination, it drives
as good as it looks. Truly one of the best 280SL Roadsters that you
will find and not easily duplicated.
